Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Early Victorian salon chairs typically feature dark hardwood frames, such as mahogany or rosewood, ornamented with Rococo Revival carvings, C-scrolls, and curved cabriole legs.

These pieces were constructed using solid mahogany or rosewood frames with traditional coil-sprung seating, horsehair padding, and hand-carved decorative timber detailing.

Authentic examples display hand-carved floral or scroll motifs on show-wood frames, brass castors on front legs, and evidence of hand-joined timber construction beneath upholstery.

A carved Victorian armchair functions effectively as a focal accent chair in a living room, library, or bedroom corner when paired with neutral textured textiles.

Timber frames require periodic application of natural beeswax polish along the grain, while fabric covers should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
